There are few meals as comforting as a slow-cooked pot roast. And with a healthy portion of vegetables added in, it’s well within the bounds of many of our New Year’s resolutions.
The Perfect Pot Roast
Ingredients
- 1 2lb chuck roast
- 2 tsp all spice ground
- olive oil
- 1/2 large yellow onion finely diced
- 1 stalk celery finely diced
- 1/2 gala apple peeled, cored, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic smashed, peeled
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 sprig oregano fresh
- 1 sprig rosemary fresh
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 large sprig thyme fresh
- 1 quart beef stock unsalted
- 1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp A1 steak sauce
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 sun-dried tomato diced
- 1 small handful parsley chopped
- 1 1/2 lbs baby new potatoes washed
- 3 large carrots washed, cut into large pieces
- 1 large turnip washed, cut into large pieces
- 1 lb green beans ends trimmed
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300. Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper. In a 5qt lidded pot or dutch oven on medium heat, sear the roast on all sided in 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Remove the roast from the pot, add another tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onions, celery, apple and garlic. When translucent, add the tomatoes and allow them to break down.
- Wrap the oregano, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf in cheesecloth and add to the pan to sauté with the vegetables.
- Build your braising liquid by combining the stock, Worcestershire, ketchup, A1, mustard, and sun dried tomato.
- Put the roast back in the pot and top with the parsley, potatoes, carrots, and turnip. Pour the liquid on and bring to a boil. Once it boils, transfer the whole pot, with the lid on, into the preheated oven. Bake for 3 hours.
- Remove the lid from the pot and set the green beans in the pot, just on top of everything else. Put the lid back on and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
- Once done, plate everything up on a large serving platter, leaving the liquid in the pot. Use an immersion blender to blend the liquid into a smooth sauce. Ladle some of the sauce over the roast and vegetables and serve the rest on the side.

looking for inspiration?
A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Delicious!! We made this for Christmas Eve and it was so juicy and tender, our guests loved it!
this was incredible!
I made this tonight. This was the best (and probably healthiest) pot roast my family has ever had. Thanks for the recipe!
Do you guys have any recommendations on where/how to select your meat? Living in a rural small town there is no good butcher shops around.
Same issue here, but our grocery store actually sells good grass-fed beef. Walmart actually has some decent grass-fed beef as well.
Enjoyed this–and it fit my macros! It was a little sour for me, so next time, I will reduce the Worcestershire. And I used elk and antelope roasts!
Do you leave the cheese cloth in the pot the whole time? Or take it out before adding the meat back?
I leave it and take it out before serving.
Hi! Is there a source for that serving platter? So simple.
From Crate & Barrel, found here.
How would you recommending adapting this recipe for the crockpot?
I would just do it all the same but transfer the meat and sautéed vegetables to the crockpot and cook it in there for maybe 7-8 hours on medium or low heat.
Hi. Would you please ask Chris what pot to use if don’t have a Dutch oven. Thanks.
Any oven-safe pot with a lid works!
So glad to have a new Chris Cooks! One of my very favorite things you do. It appears that the format was changed. It would not open in igtv. So, it was a smaller picture surrounded by pop up adds. Not as
Pleasant to watch. I like the music. The recipe looks great!
